Communications

Pursuant to the New York State Freedom of Information Law (1977 N.Y. Laws ch. 933), I hereby request the following records:

(a) the most recently completed “internal and/or external independent audit to test for compliance” submitted by any and all gaming facility licensees to the New York State Gaming Commission, as required by 9 NYCRR § 5315.17.(b) the most recently completed “compliance finding statement on a form issued by the commission and duly executed by the gaming facility’s designated anti-money laundering compliance officer” submitted by any and all gaming facility licensees to the New York State Gaming Commission, as required by 9 NYCRR § 5315.17.

If my request is too broad or does not adequately describe the Records, please contact me so that I may clarify my request, and when appropriate inform me of the manner in which Records are filed, retrieved or generated.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

I wanted to follow up on the following Freedom of Information Law request, copied below, and originally submitted on Nov. 1, 2017. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed.

Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.

I am in receipt of your most recent e-mail request for information (below) pursuant to Freedom of Information Law, N.Y. Public Officers Law Section 87 ("FOIL"). Please note that your request was remitted after normal business hours on November 1st (5:56 PM); therefore, it was received the next business day (November 2nd), and today is five business days from receipt of your request.

Please be advised that we are researching your request and will respond further within the next twenty (20) business days. If there are fees associated with reproducing records responsive to your request, we will advise you of the fees at that time.

The New York State Gaming Commission reserves the right to deny access to records or portions thereof as allowed under the New York State Freedom of Information Law.

Thank you again for your interest in the Commission.

Sincerely,

Michelle BarbettaRecords Access/FOIL Officer

I wanted to follow up on the following Freedom of Information Law request, copied below, and originally submitted on Nov. 1, 2017. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed.

Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.

I am writing in further response to your most recent request for information, pursuant to Freedom of Information Law, New York Public Officers Law Section 87 ("FOIL").

As the recently licensed gaming facilities are required to submit audit reports annually, and the facilities have been open for less than a year, the Gaming Commission currently has no responsive documents to your request. We anticipate having audit material sometime after April, 2018.

Thank you again for your interest in the Commission. Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,

Michelle BarbettaRecords Access/FOIL Officer
